Longtime WXYZ reporter Christy McDonald recently announced she would be leaving Broadcast House, making her the latest in a long line of departures at the TV station.

"I'm leaving #WXYZ - *sniff* I'll miss my great friends at 7, but will still be on #backchannel - stay tuned!" McDonald tweeted. She told the Detroit Free Press that she wanted to work part-time, but the station wanted her to work full-time.

McDonald follows several reporters and anchors out the door at WXYZ, including:

Robbie Timmons, who retired from her evening anchor post in September. She had been with the station since 1982.

Steve Wilson, whose contract was not renewed with the station in March. He had been with the station since 2001.

Jerry Hodak, who left the chief meteorologist's post in September after announcing his retirement. He had been with the station from 1977-1992, and returned to the station in 1996.

Erik Smith, who left the station in May after more than 30 years on the air. There's currently a Facebook page asking WXYZ to bring him back.
